thenew23 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Ballsy... Hopefully he pans out. If all goes well, a WR corps of Little, Gordon, Benjamin, Cooper sounds good. Tons of potential, but will Weeden be able to make it happen? Exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamac19 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Selected in the 2nd Round of the 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft. Your thoughts? Good move in my opinion, at least we are doing something aggressive, getting one over the Redskins this time I think, Whether it was too much to give up, that wont be known for a year or two, or til you see what WR's come out in the 2nd round next year.But it is definitely a positive move and gives Weeden some decent looking weapons to push this club forward and to some play-off appearances very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 It's a risky move, definitely. But, frankly, I'm tired of us not making the risky moves to improve the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runyon27 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Selected in the 2nd Round of the 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft. Your thoughts? I don't mind drafting him, a 2nd is pretty high, was hoping for a 3rd or later round. If he works out no one will care where we drafted him.

ClevelandFanForLife Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Screw people who complain about this pick. People (myself included) bitched for years about how they don't take changes and need to. Now they do and those people still bitch. Good for the FO for making things happen.

ClevelandFanForLife Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 This opens us up to do so much in the first round of next. We may have gone with WR and defense in the second. Now we can get a DE or LB in the top ten (I can't imagine winning much more than 5 with our schedule). We need defense badly now. It looks like our offense is set for a some time as log as we fill in one or two more holes (TE and probably right guard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a gamble no doubt, if it works no one will care, however, I have low expectations this yr for him due to the missed time and already missed rookie camp etc. So he has his work cut out for him, probably be mid season at the earliest before we would see a lot of him on the field. But I am optimistic by next yr he could very well give us a dynamic receiving corps when paired with Little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 no it doesn't. it just means everyone is assuming this kid is gonna pan out, that measurables are equivalent to talent. not even close. one year of football is all he's played......runs poor routes, slow off the line, gets jammed easily. huge upgrade there!! sounds like a fan-fucking-tastic prospect in the 2nd. how can this not be a good move...lol. we just added another receiver that cant run a route tree.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with anyone reading the scouting reports claiming he's better than Kendall Wright, who you and everyone else blew their loads over. Or the scouting reports claiming he has more physical tools than anyone in this draft- Blackmon, Quick, Floyd, Wright, Jeffery, Randle etc. Or the reports from two different AFC scouts saying that had he come out this season, he would have been graded ahead of nearly every WR nearly guaranteeing him a first round pick. It also has nothing to do with the fact that he posted nearly the same exact numbers as Greg Little did in his pro day...with an injured hamstring. We've spent the last ten years adding players with questionable talent who were technically sound and that has gotten us nowhere. I'm sure you wanted us to save that second round pick for next season where we could package it and trade back for 4 fifth rounders, because as we all know... it's quantity over quality. No risks, and a roster filled with 5th round talent, that's the formula to a winning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombo Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 We don't have free agency appeal right now, what we have is draft picks. What we need are playmakers. This is what we needed to do. It has been a brilliant off-season IMO. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all of the other picks will be fantastic because of their measurables (which is all anyone has to go on for draft picks), but this kid will be terrible because measurables don't equate to NFL success? And this kid isn't going to be any good because he has nothing on his college resume, yet neither will Colt McCoy because...he has too much on his college resume? You contradict yourself every time you respond. Do yourself a favor and shut the fuck up. How is this any different than adding someone in the draft? It's not..that's how. The only leg you have to stand on is that he got caught smoking pot...once. And has since passed two drug tests at Utah and passed a surprise drug test before his pro day. And he posted an impressive Wonderlic score as well. Fact is, he impressed Holmgren and Heckert enough after having dinner with them for them to pull the trigger on him. But..but...but...he got caught smoking pot. He's a bad guy. I don't want da big black pot smokers on my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfsane Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Holy shit, we used a second on this guy? holy shit. I am not adding anything this discussion than to say I am surprised. We need him.

brownfish Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Well it looks like Colt and Carlton Mitchell are headed to greener pastures. I don't see him as an upgrade over Tommy Streeter, Stephen Hill or even Marvin Mcnutt... With some pretty nice names at WR next year would have prefered waiting for someone like Justin Hunter. Besides his 12" hands nothing remarkable as Jim Brown would say. If we could have gotten him at 3 or 4 i wouldn't mind but a 2nd rounder for us is like a 1st rounder for some other teams. I think they are just trying to appease the fan base and try to get to the playoffs quicker...not sur this one will pay off though...hope i'm wrong.

lambdo Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Interesting comment from a CFL scout . They had Josh Gordon rated over Stephen Hill. I hate the idea of tossing 2's around, but if he was rated anywhere near Stephen Hill it doesnt sound too bad. Welcome aboard Josh! lambdo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Gordon is a starter right now.. he's got better hands, is faster, and runs better routes than Massadrop. Yes, he'll probably lead the league in drops/target like Little did - and for the same reason - but his ceiling is 10x higher than Massaquoi's ever was. Little/Gordon/Norwood/Cribbs/MoMa/Mitchell would be the 6 WR's I'd go to battle with this year. Cooper on the taxi squad. If this was the normal draft, Gordon is a 1st rounder. He fell asleep in a car where there was pot.. big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I think we finally have a Front Office that will take a chance to improve & I am excited with this move. What I was afraid of most was that we would wait until the 3rd & one of the already solid teams would jump on him late in the 2nd. I have literally no doubt that would have happened had we waited. Look at it this way...we didn't wait, hoping they were there later, for T Rich, Weeden, Schwartz, & now Gordon. I applaud this aggressive Team building.....It's long over due, but it's happening NOW!
